Filter Your Tap Water - Part 2


Find a filter that works

Once you know what contaminants you have in your tap water, find a filter.

Have you ever heard of Everpure?

Everpure is a leading name in water treatment for the residential, commercial and food service markets. Everpure sets the standard for water filtration.

The filter membrane has nearly 6 times the filtering surface area of carbon filters, so it’s like packing nearly 6 filters into one canister.

Everpure uses a reverse osmosis system that filters out a wider range of contaminants than most ordinary carbon filters.

The H-300 is one of the most popular filtration systems that Everpure offers; and this is because the operating cost is lower than the price of bottled water

The H-300 is a single cartridge, sanitary quick change filtration system. The cartridge is encapsulated and removes from the system with just a quarter turn. This means that replacing the H-300 filter cartridge is sanitary and as easy as changing a light bulb, in fact it’s even easier than changing a light bulb and there is almost no chance you will get electrocuted.

Designed with Everpure’s Micro-Pure technology, the H-300 delivers great tasting water every time, while reducing the following contaminants:

Ø      Lead
Ø      Cysts (such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium)
Ø      Volatile organic compounds (VOC) including trihalomethanes (THM)
Ø      Chlorine, taste and odor
Ø      Dirt and Cloudiness
Ø      Mold and algae
Ø      Oxidized iron, manganese and sulfides
Ø      Particles 0.5 micron and larger in size

Filtering your water will improve the taste of your coffee, tea, juice, soups and
sauces.

Skip bottled water

Despite marketing hype, bottled water is not necessarily any safer than tap water, and it can cost up to 1,900 times more! In fact, industry reports show that up to 44 percent of bottled water is just tap water -- filtered in some cases, but not necessarily in all cases. And because bottled water manufacturers aren't required to publish their water quality tests, you may not know exactly what you're getting.

Bottled water may be contaminated with plastic additives that migrate from the bottles.

Find a filter that works

Once you know what contaminants you have in your tap water, find a filter.

Have you ever heard of Everpure?

 Everpure is a leading name in water treatment for the residential, commercial and food service markets. Everpure sets the standard for water filtration.

The filter membrane has nearly 6 times the filtering surface area of carbon filters, so it’s like packing nearly 6 filters into one canister.

Everpure uses a reverse osmosis system that filters out a wider range of contaminants than most ordinary carbon filters.

Reverse Osmosis systems help you deal with problems ordinary carbon filters typically can’t, for example: arsenic, lead, copper, sodium, nitrates, fluoride, cysts, TDS and pharmaceutical contaminants.

The H-300 is one of the most popular filtration systems that Everpure offers; and this is because the operating cost is lower than the price of bottled water

The H-300 is a single cartridge, sanitary quick change filtration system. The cartridge is encapsulated and removes from the system with just a quarter turn.

Ø      Mold and algae
Ø      Oxidized iron, manganese and sulfides
Ø      Particles 0.5 micron and larger in size

The H-300 also contains a scale inhibitor to reduce lime and scale build-up on appliances that use water, so you can install this system with an ice maker, instant hot water dispenser, point of use water cooler or to a drinking water faucet installed next to your kitchen sink.

Filtering your water will improve the taste of your coffee, tea, juice, soups and
sauces.

Filter your Tap Water! - Part 1


Do you constantly complain about the taste of your water? Are you always buying bottled water? 

If your answer is YES!...Then, this post is for you.

We all know that water is a basic necessity; no living thing can survive long without it. Next to the air we breathe, water is our most important resource for existence. While it may seem that there is an abundance of water, when you consider the composition and availability of the earth’s water a different picture emerges.

Ø      75% of the earth is made up of water. However –
Ø      97% of that water is salt water, which means that –
Ø      3% of the earth’s water is fresh water. But –
Ø      2% of that fresh water is frozen in icecaps and glaciers. Which leaves –
Ø      1% of the water on the entire earth available for human consumption.



Human water usage put our vital need for clean, safe water in context:

Ø      Humans are comprised of 55-60% water
Ø      We can survive more than a month without food, but only a week without water
Ø      The average person in the United States uses about 80-100 gallons of water per day

So, it’s important to be aware of potential hazards in our water. While some contaminants can influence taste and clarity, others can be far more harmful to our family’s health. That’s why it’s vital to know the potential contaminants and their implications along with the filtration options available to us.

Learn how to stay hydrated while avoiding common drinking water pollutants. Here's how to:
1. Identify the contaminants in your home tap water
2. Find a filter that works
3. Skip bottled water

Identify the contaminants in your home tap water

Environmental Working Group (EWG) has compiled millions of state water testing records to create a National Drinking Water Database. This database makes it easy for us to identify and understand the contaminants in our water -- and find the right filter.

Most water utilities meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's tap water regulations. So what are the problems with tap water?

There are many unregulated contaminants -- like chromium-6 -- in American drinking water. The EWG has identified 316 chemicals in U.S. tap water -- 202 of which aren't regulated. EPA's failure to protect drinking water sources from pollution and to develop enforceable standards for scores of common tap water contaminants leaves the public at risk.

Are you ready to research your water?

Learn about contaminants in your tap water by searching this interactive, user-friendly database. It covers 48,000 communities in 45 states and the District of Columbia. Just enter your zip code in the search box and select your local water utility.




Now… are you ready to use a water filter system? Are you still convinced that bottled water is the only best option for drinking water?

Stay tuned. In the next post you will meet a great water filter that will change your life!
